The Critical Minerals Summit Indonesia 2026 takes place from 27 to 30 September at the InterContinental Bali Resort in Jimbaran, in its third edition and first year co-located with CT Asia 2026. For CMN readers, the headline story is nickel: Indonesia now dominates global nickel supply, and the summit’s opening conference day is built specifically around the pricing, processing and policy questions facing that supply chain, before the agenda widens to Indonesia’s broader critical minerals base on Day 2.
Critical Minerals Summit Indonesia — Key Details
Registration and the CT Asia opening reception run on 27 September, with joint workshops on 28 September covering energy costs and the coal-to-transition intersection that shapes HPAL economics in Indonesia. The main conference runs 29-30 September. Both events share the InterContinental Bali Resort, with a single registration covering access to both programmes. BKPM, Indonesia’s Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry, is the official government supporter, with Minister Rosan Roeslani and Deputy Minister Pak Nurul Ichwan among confirmed speakers — a useful read on where Jakarta’s downstreaming policy is heading, a topic already covered in CMN’s Indonesia critical minerals hub.
What to Expect at the Critical Minerals Summit Indonesia 2026
| Date | Focus | Key sessions |
|---|---|---|
| 28 September | Joint workshops with CT Asia | Energy costs, captive coal and the transition intersection in Indonesian downstreaming |
| 29 September | Conference Day 1 — Nickel | Pricing power and supply discipline, NPI/matte/HPAL processing routes, CBAM and Battery Passport compliance |
| 30 September | Conference Day 2 — Beyond nickel | Bauxite, aluminium, gold and tin; precursor and cathode investment |
The nickel-first structure of Day 1 makes this one of the more direct read-outs available this year on where nickel prices and supply discipline are heading, alongside a look at which Indonesian HPAL and smelter capacity is proving commercially viable without subsidy. A closed-door rare-earth roundtable also runs during the summit — Indonesia’s tin-slag and monazite by-products are increasingly relevant to that supply chain, and CMN’s sister title Rare Earth Mining has full coverage of the rare-earth angle at the summit for readers tracking that side of the agenda.
Why the Critical Minerals Summit Indonesia Matters for Critical Minerals
Indonesia’s nickel sector sits at the centre of the battery materials supply chain, and this summit is the year’s clearest gathering point for the executives, processors and financiers making decisions about it. Fastmarkets is targeting 45-50 confirmed speakers drawn from Indonesian mining and processing companies, battery materials producers, commodity traders, investors and government — a sizeable share of the names covered in CMN’s Top 10 nickel smelters and refineries ranking are likely to be represented on the ground. Ahead of Bali, Fastmarkets ran a Jakarta briefing on 15 April 2026 with PT Vale, APNI and the Indonesia Mining Association — a preview of the same government-industry access that defines the September event.
Who Should Attend the Critical Minerals Summit Indonesia 2026
The delegate base is paid and vetted: mining company executives, HPAL and smelter operators, battery materials producers, OEMs, commodity traders, financial institutions and government representatives.
